Tried Clarke rubber and Kanga rubber to see if they have similar profile? They come to mind as suppliers worth asking.

I'm keen on replacing mine too, but I'd just want a new rubber not the whole thing.

Pretty keen on the rubber pending price. I was in the process of painting and restoring a spare cowl for just this purpose, but so far have been unable to find a replacement rubber strip.

Im still working on it, its a bit of a slow process...

I gave them a sample, cut of from my own rubber strip, which the supplier apparantly 'misplaced' so I gave them another and the supplier is sending back their closest match (all done via snail mail) should be a couple of days and they will give me a call and I'll go out and pick up the sample to see how it fits and gets some photos, measurements, comparisons etc... and pricing of course...

nope Ive had no luck in finding a replacement rubber strip, only the OEM replacement cowling @ $220 each...

so I remove the deteriorated rubber strip, sanded and sprayed the cowling plastic & the wiper arms in satin black, looks good...

it does look good... I fully recommend everyone to do it...

I'll see what I can do about pics, but pretty much they are going to show a nicely satin black coated version of what you have...lol...

just make sure you prep them well before painting....

Hey mate sorry can't get pic upload having sync problems. But it pretty straight forward I did my brothers today all you do is remove the factory silicon/selant with thin flat head, wipe clean, squeeze black silicon into the channel of the strip that sits under cowl just don't o.d. it, push seal into place,wipe excess with wet finger or rag take your pick, place a weight on seal and allow to dry..... Voila.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
